How do these fish compared to a strike King? I was wondering about the action and dive depth, and if they would fit well in to my line up? I fish a desert impoundment with tons of rock and visibility is great in the spring and gets worse as the year goes on.

Strike King cranks won't catch anything! Just kidding.. I think they all (crankbaits) have their time & place, but sometimes certain ones shine more consistently for me. Some years a certain crank will really produce and then the next year it is not so hot. There are a lot of guys who love the Strike Kings on here, but I have not used My SK's as much as I have my Rapalas, Bandits, Cordells, H2O's, Normans, etc. I may try them more this spring.

The SK's I have (Series, KVD Square) are more buoyant and have louder rattles. The Big O's I have date from the 1980's and they rise slower than the SK's and have a single large ("one-knocker" type) bearing for a rattle. However, I have one that rises slower than the rest. Good to test your plugs and adjust buoyancy.
